Comedian Freddie Starr, actresses Lorraine Chase and Stefanie Powers and
former jockey Willie Carson are among the sixty-something stars set to take
part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

Starr, 68, Chase 60, Powers, 69, and Carson, 68, will be part of the line-up for ITV1's latest series of the jungle-based reality show, the Daily Mail reported.

The ten stars - who also include Benidorm actress Crissy Rock, 53, and pop singer Sinitta, 43 - will have an average age of 47, after producers realised that in the past older contestants had made the headlines.

A source told the Mail: "We don't cast on age, we choose people based on character and personality regardless of how old they are.

"But often people that have lived a bit bring in a bit more in charisma, jokes and life experience. We are happy with the mix of people we have got."

Chase told the newspaper that she had been looking for a challenge since turning 60 earlier this year while Carson said: "I'm really going to miss my bed."
